Description

Find useful lead conversations fast. The flow searches Reddit for posts about getting leads, checks if they describe a real business problem, then saves short summaries and links into Google Sheets for easy review. Great for growth teams, founders, and SDRs who prospect in online communities.

Here is how it works. A manual run starts a Reddit search in a chosen subreddit with a set keyword. Posts get filtered by features like upvotes and content. Key fields are selected, then an AI check decides if the post shows a problem or need. Another AI step creates a short executive summary. The data is merged and sent to Google Sheets as clean rows. You get a clear list of qualified posts with titles, links, upvotes, verdicts, and summaries, ready for outreach or research.

To set it up, connect Reddit, Google Sheets, and OpenRouter in n8n Cloud. Pick your sheet and adjust keywords, subreddit, and upvote rules. Expect faster research, better targeting, and a single source of truth for your team. Useful for B2B lead gen, SaaS validation, and freelancers scouting client needs.

What this workflow does?

  • Reddit search pulls hot posts from a chosen subreddit using a specific keyword.
  • If nodes filter by upvotes and text content to remove noise and keep strong posts.
  • Set nodes map useful fields like title, link, subreddit, and upvotes.
  • AI check with an LLM decides if the post states a business problem or need.
  • Summarization creates short executive notes for each qualified post.
  • Merge nodes combine metadata, AI verdicts, and summaries into one record.
  • Google Sheets appends clean rows so teams can sort, score, and act.

What are the benefits?

  • Reduce manual Reddit research from 2 hours to 10 minutes per day
  • Automate 80% of post screening with AI classification and summaries
  • Improve lead quality by 30% using upvote and problem based filters
  • Unify findings in Google Sheets for clear team handoff and tracking
  • Scale to more subreddits and keywords with small edits to settings

How to set this up?

  1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
  2. You'll need accounts with Reddit, Google Sheets and OpenRouter. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
  3. Open the Reddit node. In the Credential to connect with dropdown, click Create new credential and follow the on screen steps to sign in to Reddit. If asked, use OAuth and approve the app.
  4. Open the Google Sheets node. In the credentials dropdown, click Create new credential and connect the Google account that owns your target spreadsheet. Grant access so n8n can read and write.
  5. Open each OpenRouter Chat Model node. Create a new credential and paste your OpenRouter API key from your OpenRouter dashboard. Save the credential.
  6. In the Reddit Get Posts node, set the subreddit and keyword. The template searches r/Entrepreneur with how do I find leads and hot sort. Adjust these to match your niche.
  7. In the Filter Posts By Features node, set your upvote minimum and any keyword rules that define quality. Keep case sensitivity in mind when editing conditions.
  8. In the Filter Posts By Content node, confirm the conditions that use the AI verdict. Only posts marked as a problem or need should pass through.
  9. Open the Google Sheets node and select your spreadsheet and worksheet. Keep auto map enabled or add column mapping to match your header row. Create a header row if you want fixed columns.
  10. Run a test using Execute workflow. Check the Google Sheet for new rows with title, link, upvotes, AI verdict, and summary. Fix any empty columns by updating field mappings in the Set nodes.
  11. If you see permission errors in Google Sheets, connect the correct Google account or share the sheet with the authorized account. If Reddit returns errors, slow the search or change keywords. If the AI fails, verify the OpenRouter API key.

Automate Reddit to Sheets Market Research
Turn Reddit into a steady source of market insights. The flow finds posts that describe business problems, summarizes them, suggests helpful solutions, and stores everything in Google Sheets. It also prepares Gmail drafts based on sentiment so your team can follow up fast. Here is how it works. Recent posts are pulled from chosen subreddits. Filters remove low value items using engagement and keyword checks. A set node keeps only fields you need like upvotes, URL, and date. An AI agent decides if the post is a real business need. Then three AI steps run in parallel to summarize the post, propose a solution idea, and label sentiment. Results are merged, added to Google Sheets, and routed to Gmail as positive, neutral, or negative drafts. Setup is simple with Reddit, OpenAI, Google Sheets, and Gmail accounts. Point the Reddit node to your communities, map the Sheets columns, and connect Gmail to create drafts. Expect faster research cycles and clearer decisions. Great for market research teams, product managers, and sales teams who want to spot pain points and respond with helpful ideas.

Automate Reddit Brand Insights
Scan Reddit for posts that matter to your brand and turn them into clear, short insights. Great for marketing and community teams that want quick context without reading every thread. The flow runs on a manual start. It searches Reddit for a chosen keyword, then keeps only posts with at least five upvotes, written in the last seven days, and with real text. The text is trimmed to the first 500 characters to keep it focused. OpenAI gives a one sentence summary and a simple Yes or No label to confirm if the post is truly about your product. Merge and Set nodes join the AI results with Reddit data and output neat fields like title, subreddit, upvotes, subscriber size, summary, and the Yes or No tag. A backup summary step kicks in if the classifier returns No, so you still get context. Setup needs Reddit and OpenAI accounts. Expect faster brand checks and earlier responses to important threads. Common uses include brand monitoring, content ideas, and a quick screen for outreach leads. Change the keyword to watch competitors or product features. The simple structure makes it easy to extend later with more sources or a scheduler if needed.

Monitor Reddit Mentions for Brand Insights
Track fresh Reddit conversations about your brand and get quick context you can act on. The flow finds new posts, confirms if they are truly about your product, and writes a short summary for fast review. It suits marketing and community teams that want a focused stream of useful mentions. Here is how it works. A manual start kicks off a Reddit search across all communities using your keyword, sorted by new. Posts are kept only if they are recent, have at least five upvotes, and include text. The text is trimmed to 500 characters to control costs, which means very long posts are not fully read. OpenAI first answers Yes or No to check relevance and then produces a one sentence summary with a low temperature for consistency. Merge steps combine the AI results with post stats, and a final mapping outputs clean fields like summary, upvotes, subreddit size, and links. Set up Reddit and OpenAI access in n8n, change the keyword to fit your brand, and tune the filters. Expect to replace manual searches with a quick review that saves about an hour each week. If you need more context, increase the trim length and adjust the prompts to get sharper answers. After that, run it on demand and refine based on your results.
